Court issues arrest warrants against five Foodpanda officials after year-long probe
A Dhaka metropolitan court has issued arrest warrants against top management officials of Foodpanda and its subsidiary Pandamart over allegations of digital record deletion, falsified return invoices, and financial embezzlement .
The court of Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate in Dhaka passed the order on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, following a formal police investigation under sections 420, 467, 468, 471, and 506 of the Penal Code .
The accused individuals include Foodpanda Bangladesh Co-Founder and Managing Director Syeda Ambareen Reza, Co-Founder and Director Zubair Siddiqui, Pandamart Director Md. Tabrej Khan, Head of Category Dilara Faruque, and Senior Manager Mohammad Sajedul Haque .
The case files stem from four separate complaints lodged by Shihab Mahmud Bashir, the proprietor of supply entities PNP and IPLE Distribution Network . The complainant alleged that substantial receivables were withheld and adjusted dishonestly by generating fake return invoices alongside technical manipulation of the platform's procurement records .
The court issued these warrants following a year-long investigation by Gulshan Police Station that proved the authenticity of the charges. The plaintiff, Sihab Mahmud Bassir, said: "I am hopeful of justice as the investigation revealed the truth and the court issued the arrest warrant. I want exemplary punishment of the culprits and all my compensation. "
